You can be sure the Limousine Liberals of Silicon Valley and elsewhere are quietly laughing about the increasing weaponization of the government's IRS, DOJ, FBI, CIA, etc. Along with people in "non-profits" and throughout the media.

With private-sector businesses now getting into the act and joining the party, we've ended up with a hat trick.

I'm not even mentioning the Hollywood/entertainment crowd.

When major public figures don't even like saying "liberal" - much less "libtard" - in speeches and Tweets, this bullshit will only grow worse.

I like the idea of GAB, but I could see why it doesn't grow as big as you would expect. It's filled with racist and anti-Semitic trash. No one wants to be on a platform with that much trash. It looks more like a racist playground than a free speech platform. It needs more normal people to balance it out.

IF people took a 30 day twitter holiday and did not tweet at all it might send a message but at some point they (the PTB) make their move and are willing to let it all burn down.

If this is true then its because M$ feels it can literally bully another business into capitulation because they have DEEP pockets, a sh*tload of lawyers and politicians in their pockets, and do not fear a lawsuit.

We live in sad times.

Freedom of speech doesn't apply to privately owned forums. It protects you from being rounded up by the government and tossed into an internment camp for your shit talking, but it doesn't give you any 'right' or privilege to use a site owned by someone else to spout your nonsensical views.

Sucks for conservatives that most tech giants are overwhelmingly liberal, but they can always host their own anti-liberal websites if they want. Of course, ad agencies can refuse to do business with those websites at their own whim, search engines can refuse to list the websites of hate in their results, internet providers can withdraw service if the views of any private website violate their terms of use.

This is the reality.

Maybe think about investing in a printing press?

This is getting crazy. They are trying to run hundreds of thousands of conspiracy theorists and white nationalist type people off the internet. How does that seem like a good idea? I mean why would you go after people who already marginalized and somewhat unhinged?

They aren't going after real hate speech or White Nationalists. They're going after anyone that isn't down with the plan.

White Nationalism is alive and well in Silicon Valley and college campuses across America.

eventually even if ya can find a safe host or place, the pressure will mount against the host (if they arent already owned by the PTB) which pretty much everyone is at this point. I think this time they flicked the switch. Will have to see how far it gets taken.

I mean there is a chance it will turn around if people wakey wakey....lol not enough really give a crap that I speak with in real world circles or even get it...

The more I think about using a listserv email list the more I like it. First, it's easy to manage, easy to contribute just by sending an email to the list.

I'm exploring choices on services right now. Most prices are pretty attractive but can be very expensive for premium services.
